FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC base backplane data communication Quick Configuration Guide
5Enter the following command to copy the firmware image from the TFTP server to
the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board:
execute restore image <name_str> <tftp_ipv4>
Where <name_str> is the name of the firmware image file and <tftp_ipv4> is
the IP address of the TFTP server. For example, if the firmware image file name is
image.out and the IP address of the TFTP server is 192.168.1.168, enter:
execute restore image image.out 192.168.1.168
The FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board responds with the message:
This operation will replace the current firmware version!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)
6Type y.
The FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board uploads the firmware image file, upgrades to
the new firmware version, and restarts. This process takes a few minutes.
7Reconnect to the CLI.
8To confirm the firmware image is successfully installed, enter:
get system status
9Update antivirus and attack definitions. You can use the command
execute update-now
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC base backplane data communication
You can configure the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC boards for data communications
using the two FortiGate-5140, FortiGate-5050, or FortiGate-5020 chassis base
backplane interfaces.
By default the base backplane interfaces are used for HA heartbeat
communication. However, using the information in this section, you can configure
the FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC to also use the base backplane interfaces for data
communication. Once the base backplane interfaces are configured for data
communication you can operate and configure them in the same way as any
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC interface.
Although not recommended, you can use base backplane interfaces for data
communication and HA heartbeat communication at the same time.
Note: Different FortiGate-5000 series boards may use different names for the base
backplane interfaces. For example, on the FortiGate-5001SX and FortiGate-5001FA2
boards the base backplane interfaces are called port9 and port10. On the
FortiGate-5005FA2 and FortiGate-5001A boards the base backplane interfaces are called
base1 and base2.
Note: VLAN communication over the backplane is only available for FortiGate-5005FA2
boards installed in a FortiGate-5020 chassis. The FortiSwitch-5003 does not support
VLAN-tagged packets so VLAN communication is not available over the FortiGate-5050
and FortiGate-5140 chassis backplanes.
